Answer:
6 pounds of sugar
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the ratio of sugar and flour by weight expressed by the ratio 3:2
Total ratio = 3+2 = 5
Ratio of sugar = 3
If we are to make 10pounds cake, the amount of sugar needed will be expressed as;
Amount of sugar = Ratio of sugar/Total sugar *weight of cake
Amount of sugar = 3/5 * 10
Amount of sugar = 3 * 2
Amount of sugar = 6pounds
Hence 6pounds of sugar is needed to make the cake
